I got to see a bunch of new collections at the Craft & Hobby Association Trade Show last month in Anaheim. Some were great, some not so much, but this Echo Park Jack & Jill -Boycollection was definitely one of the favorites of the show. The mix of nostalgic icons with traditional boy colors made creating today’s Mid Week Mojo super fun. I remember when I saw this collection the first photo I imagined was this cute picture of Zach with his adorable suspenders and hat.

Here is the layout:

Here is the sketch:

Echo Park has many of their traditional awesome embellishments with this collection; stickers, chipboard, enamel dots. They have now ventured into the land of ephemera packs where you find tons of awesome die cuts for your projects. I also love the rich colors included in this collection. I wanted to keep scrapping, but had to finally go to bed. Check out some close ups of this layout:

When I first saw the True Friend Collection from Fancy Pantslong before we had it here on ScrapbookSteals.com, I kept seeing images of my good friends I have met through working here. Friends from near and far I have had the pleasure of meeting through our community here at Steals.com. Each one has touched my life in one way or another, but for today’s Mid Week Mojo I wanted to honor one of my favorites. She has impacted me so much and one day I hope to grow up to be just like her – I love you, my dear Sheryl. This is the perfect color scheme and collection to honor my friendship with this wonderful woman.

Here is the layout:

Here is the sketch:

The happy colors of this collection remind me of Sheryl so much. She has such a zest for life and so much love in her heart I hope every day I can have a little of what she has.

Sometimes we all need to know we are loved, I know I do. I also know that I join many many of our Scrappy Sisters in the love we have for Sheryl.

The envelopes and file folders in this collection are perfect for a little tag with some hidden journaling.

And oh those trees…I can handle how much I love them. So cute and so much texture and dimension, Fancy Pants has knocked it out of the park with those.

Here’s hoping we all can find someone in our lives that is an inspiration to us. Find that someone for you and let them know. Sheryl, I adore you and you inspire me each and every day!

The calming feeling of Kaisercraft’s Blue Bay Collectionis really perfect for so many different photos. The wooden & shutters papers have so much texture and the color scheme of this collection just brings a sense of peace while crafting. The best part, however are the quotes that fill the papers, die cuts and stickers. Motivational and sentimental all in one collection I was thrilled to use it for today’s Mid Week Mojo

Here is the layout:

Here is the sketch:

I once again was thrilled to be able to use some co-worker’s photos. I chose just a couple of pictures from Liam’s first year. Just look at that face.

The frosting on the face was a perfect shot to coordinate with this collection.

The stickers and die cuts have so much texture with a vintage feel. You can almost reach out and touch the wood worn frames and plaster clocks.

A big congrats to Cynthia B, you are last week’s winner! I love how you dedicated your layout to your sister!

Today I was so excited to use the highly anticipated release, Simple Stories Life Documentedfor today’s Mid Week Mojo I was able to see this collection a while ago and after a few delays we are finally able to show it off. As I looked through the collection, one photo of my Samantha kept popping in my head. The look on her face in this senior photo just made me think of her looking to her future trying to figure out her next step. This collection conveys that sentiment perfectly.

Here is the layout:

Here is the sketch:

The mix of chipboard, stickers and die cuts in this collection made it easy to have different dimensions on this layout.

I have two new favorite scrapbooking products, both are here in the Life Documented collection. The Word Strip stickers have great sentiments and there are tons to choose from in the pack. The other item (and probably my most favorite) is the new Bradz. The look and feel of decorative brads, but with no prongs. No more poking holes in your papers or trying to hide those prongs on the back of your double-sided journaling cards. I am in heaven.

The arrow paper and squiggly arrow die cuts perfectly conveyed the confusion of a girl in her senior year trying to decide what to do with the rest of her life.

I love the tags in the Bits & Pieces die cut pack. They are all done in journaling paper so perfect to add journaling to your layout.

There she is, my girl with her whole future ahead of her. I love that smile.

Greetings!

Melissa Dehne here and I am glad to be back again today with the Petunia 10 Mid Week Mojo. First of all, this Fancy Pants collection is incredible. It is loaded with so many wonderful options, be sure to take a look at all that you could use to scrapbook with! Choosing which pieces to use was challenging but, oh so fun! I really wanted to include more, but also wanted my layout to look balanced! That must be the reason that I have two more layouts ready to roll using more of the pieces that are available today! Here is the sketch for this week:

The Nautical collection has a summery, seaside, poolside, vacation vibe to it. How is that possible, you ask? I am not sure, but Fancy Pants has got it all figured out. It worked out well that the photos I wanted to use were both seaside and vacation themed. However, with all of the colors, embellishments and papers, the possibilities are plentiful with this collection! Here is my layout:

The Nautical kit includes some awesome 4×6 and 3×5 brag cards which I used for the upper right and lower left quadrants of the layout, as well as the little lighthouse card. I also used the large decorative tags, the title pieces (the “adventure definition” piece), an anchor from the button set, label stickers, as well as one of the toppers included with the kit.

There were several alphabet options on the sticker fundamentals page (FIVE alphas to choose from!) as well as other fun sticker choices! Be sure to look at what this collection all includes because this is only the tip of the iceberg in regard to options for your layout!

I hope that the sketch inspires you to join us this week! I look forward to seeing what you all post! A big thank you to Melodee and ScrapbookSteals for allowing me to create for you this week!

~Melissa
